cis people meaninglessly shouting “trans rights!” into the void without any realistic understanding of what that means and without actively listening to us on how to be better allies.
Other than downvoting+snitching on transphobic posts, what else can the rest of the community do?
Fucking actually listen to minorities. We have a bunch of dumbasses here carrying water for reactionaries because the red scare terfs got banned finally. Trans people have been getting banned on twitter for years for merely existing as trans people. How to fix? Ban the OP of that thread for carrying water for reactionaries. Doesn't matter if he meant to do so. Intentions don't matter, it's about the outcome. Ban him. No appeal. The site doesn't track IPs, he can create a new account and quietly learn from his mistakes. No appeal.
That's not a great example of the community tolerating transphobia or failing to act accordingly since every post on that thread seems to be dunking on OP.
Oh come on, it would be at zero if we could actually downvote it.
Actually, why don't you fuck off about banning people when you can't even get their pronouns right?
I've recently come to realize that I'm trans. If I accidentally used the wrong pronouns when referring to myself (I used to use he/him pronouns and I'm having trouble correcting my habits) and someone else decided that gave them license to also use the wrong pronouns, I'd be pretty unhappy. I don't think there's ever a good excuse for using the wrong pronouns.

Yeah, I remember when somebody here liked to an article about Israel without noticing that the full version of the article (behind another link) was extremely antisemitic. I pointed it out (probably a little more rudely than necessary) and they immediately deleted the post. Why hasn't this person done the same thing?
I mean thats good advice, but that post was not really about the podcast itself, it was just I guess just... lying that the podcast was leftist, when it's actually TERF shit, and talking about the twitter bans being refocused left. Coulda been any podcast, there's so fucking many these days, at least theres one less shit one getting promoted lmao :yeet:

At present moment it has 31 upvotes. Silent majority. Also don't fucking talk over my concerns.

Own up to the mispronoun for the love of God. It's not that big of a deal.
In any case, other than dunking on OP, what can random users of the site actually do?
Why no appeal? :/
pretty persuasive, ngl
the avenue for appeals just allows wreckers to ruin whatever utility c/uu might have. i've unsubbed because it's exclusively dominated by drama
im a very patient mod

I'm glad I never saw the post because I have never heard of Red Scare pod, and wouldn't have known not to upvote it.
Consider not blindly upbearing posts.
